An Obanion couple getaway
The stay was great, the only downfall is the water did not get hot when showering but everything else was awesome. The building itself is outdated but the rooms were in good shape. For the price can't complain plus the location was great too!

Low cost, low expectations
The rooms are spacious and overall not terrible, it’s just an old building. The AC was loud and the room was either cold or hot. This is fine for a budget friendly vacation but don’t expect much.

Don't book here. They may not honor your reservati
We booked a room a month before the date. Drove 15 hours to find out our room was unavailable. Was offered a room of less value at same price. Ended up staying at another hotel with nicer rooms for less money. We have stayed here many times before. 2nd time our room was not available.

Amazing for the price.
This was a wonderful place to stay. When you can see that a place is older, you wonder if the pictures will match reality and they absolutely did. I still can’t believe that I was able to get a room with a beach walkout at such an affordable price. The pool was heated and well maintained and there was plenty of room for a relaxing walk on the beach. We certainly hope to stay here again.

Soul renewal
Our stay in October could not have been any better. It was just what we needed to rejuvenate our spirit after a near fatal accident 2 months prior. The staff was so friendly and helpful and accommodating by giving us a room that was beach walk up and a walk in shower because steps and stairs are challenging due to my husbands injuries. The staff was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable and spacious. The kitchenette was perfectly equipped for cooking for two. Parking was a breeze, we parked in front of our room every time. We love this place, and the price didn't break the bank. A super value . We will come back here every time. The location was perfect, it was quiet and relaxing and the view was great with beautiful sunsets. Serenity at its best. The only down side to our stay is that it wasn't long enough.

All good things come to an end eventually!
We have stayed at sugar sands several times. When we stayed there in 2011 for our honeymoon it was wonderful. We stayed several times after for family vacation. We stopped staying there the past few years because the price became very expensive. This time was our 13 year anniversary and it was off season and very reasonably priced so we tried it again. Not what we expected. 1St off our room wasn't ready when we got there at 4:30 pm. We didn't get to check in until 6:30 pm. They informed us that they are short staffed... understandable. Upon entering the room we were greeted with the stench of alcohol. Lightbulbs missing. The only switch for lights for the whole place was in the hall bunk bed area.. weird. 2 dim lights in the bedroom with a switch on the bedside table. We used our 📲 to find them. There was a 3 ft bubble on the ceiling where I guess there was a leak above. The ceiling above the bunk beds was black/grey and flaking all over the top bunk. We weren't using it anyways. The ceiling in the bathroom was black and moldy above the shower, but the rest of the bathroom was new. The equipped kitchen had very little accessories. It used to be very accommodating. Once bought out and ran by new owners/ resort the condition is deteriorating quickly. We stayed and made the best of the situation. The beach there is quite and beautiful. Probably won't go back again .
